You may have water in the fuel tank and carb bowl.

Is it belt driven or hydro? It could be a damaged belt to the drive pulley.

I have a Ferris w/b with a Kohler Command 14 HP and an electric PTO clutch. The clutch is cooked and I'm replacing it. I need to know the voltage readings from the stator, the regulator, and at the...

I have a Ferris 48" w/b with Kohler CV14T Command engine. It cooked an electric PTO
Clutch. I'm repalcing the clutch, but I want to know what voltage readings I should be looking for at the stator,...

If the engine is backfiring, it may be a timing or valve problem. Check the flywheel key to make sure it is not sheared. Check the valves for proper adjustment.

What motor is on it ?

The belt should be loose when not engaged. Make sure you have the belt routed the corect way and are not binding on any belt guides. Check the blades to make sure they are turning freely and not...

Try loosening the gas cap and try running it. The vent holes in the cap may be plugged.

I agree with MOWERMAN, timing mower blades ended years ago. Unless your machine is REAL OLD, chances are the blades are too long.

It sounds like the vent in the carburaetor may be plugged. Not allowing fuel into the carb.Pull the carb apart and clean it thoroughly. There is a small vent hole on the side of the carb facing to...

Try rocking the tractor , then shifting again. Sometimes the transmission gears won't align.

Try turning the engine over by hand with the plugs removed. If you can spin the flywheel, then you have a starter problem, if not you have an engine problem.

The float valve is stuck open. Pull and clean the carb. Replace the needle and seat.
Drain the crankcase thoroughly, add oil to proper level. Remove the spark plug and drain the gas from the...

It sounds like the valves have to be adjusted to the proper clearance.

Make sure the float does not have a hole in it and that the float level is correct.

If the oil level is correct , replace the spark plug , more than likely it is fouled from the oil.

It sounds like the starter gear is jamming up on the flywheel and binding the starter. I don't know what engine is on this unit, but it could be a valve adjustment if it's an OHV motor.

The torque on the blade nut will not affect the spindle turning. Check to make sure the brake on the blade spindle is releasing when you engage the blade lever. Also check the spindle bearings for...

Not worth the trouble of fixing go to the "box store" and buy a new one. Keep the old one for parts.

Make sure the bowl nut is clean , there are small holes in the nut that controls the fuel flow. Use a piece of fine wire to clean them out and shoot some carb cleaner through them to make sure you...

Most of these off- brands are manufactured by either MTD or AYP. Poulan bought Weed Eater a while back and I know Poulan doesn't make there own stuff. Try asking on the Web who manufactures the...

Is the engine seized? Can you turn the flywheel by hand? If not, check to see if a belt is jammed or you may have internal engine problems.

I agree with Mowerman but also check for worn throttle shaft bushings. If they are worn they will allow air into the carb. A quick check for this is to try and wiggle the throttle shaft, it should...

I have seen this problem before and traced it to a broken wire on the starter clutch itself. Sometimes it worked and others it didn't. I agree with the others. If it happens again replace the clutch.

Forsythia are very simple to root. Take the bottom 2 or 3 inches of blossoms off the cutting and place cutting in vase with water. You should see roots in a couple of weeks. Idon't know where you're...

All of these answers still relate to the carb. If this mower has been sitting it could be a combination of problems. Dirt , water and corrosion in the carb should be cleaned, the float and float...

Check for blown fuses.

Make sure you have good, clean ground connections or your key switch is shot.

Check the brake linkage and make sure the pads are loose when the brake is released. They may have rusted from storage.

Check the engine oil sump for any gas that might have leaked down during the winter

It sounds like a typical mouse nest during the winter problem. Like Mowerman said try disconnecting the kill wire and try to isolate the problem. Mice love nesting under the cooling shround and...

I live in New England and have a medium loamy soil in my garden. I.too add cow manure and peat moss to the soil before I till in the spring. I also use a straight 10-10-10 fertilizer (granular)...

You didn't say if this is a hydro unit or a shift unit. There are 2 belts on a shift unit that work together on a variable speed pulley. It is kind of difficult to describe on-line. You should...

Is it a rear engine rider?

If you have have a mulimeter, check to see if your getting power to the key switch, then to the solenoid small contact with the key switch in the statr position, it sounds like the key switch is bad.

Sounds like the mower was tipped on its side and oil got into the muffler

I'm not familiar with the cub cadet system, but every hydro I've worked on has recommended filling the hydraulic oil reservoir and turning the engine over for fifteen or twenty seconds to circulate...

See if you can find a number stamped or printed on the side of the belt itself! The blades will probably have a part number on them too. Some machines have the belt numbers printed under the hood.

If the mower is a 2003, more than likely there arn no adjustments on it other than idle speed. When you take off the bowl nut from the bottom of the bowl, make sure it it thoroughly clean. There is a...

This application is on a wheel blower , it is not used as a vacuum. Overspeeding of the engine may be the problem, but the RPMs read around 3250. I dropped it to 3050 and I will just have to wait and...

I have been follwing this question and I'm having a problem with the B&S 10hp ohv. My engine is mounted on a "little wonder leaf blower". The engine might have overheated and caused the bronze valve...
